Cycling
Out cycling with a youth group I was in when I was younger. We went upto Dunkeld in Perthshire for some cycling round the hills and the forests etc. When we left the cycle hire place, we were cycling down the road towards the start of our ride. I was busy concentrating putting my feet in the the cycle toe clips without actually looking where I was going. This was pretty stupid in the first place. Suddenly, there was a bang and I felt myself flying over the handlebars. In my vision, I could just make out the very well known little badge that are in the front of rather famous brand of German car, and bang...I landed on the bonnet of the very expensive Mercedes car, the bike heavily dented the grill at the front of the car, left a nice big dent in the bonnet and snapped off the badge on the front of the car and I ended up with a several bruises and a very hurt pride. Mr Mercedes owner...I'm sorry if you found your car in worse shape than you left it...but you see...I was a young clumsy teenager who should have never been allowed out on a bike on my own :)

Oh yeah...nearly forgot...I didn't hang around to see how the owner would react to see the nice new dents in his car....oh no...I picked up my bike...hopped on the saddle...and cycled down the road as fast as I could.
